Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
In a large bowl, stir together bran, both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat together buttermilk, brown sugar, butter, eggs, bananas, orange juice and zest. Fold into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in raisins and walnuts and spoon batter into a buttered 9 x 5 inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Tips
You can replace buttermilk by sour milk or yogourt. To make sour milk, add 1 tbsp (15 mL) of white vinegar (or lemon juice) to 1 cup (250 mL) milk. Let rest a few min before using.
For a change of taste: Add dried cranberries instead of raisins.
